'Meet at the Miracle City: In-depth APEC Experience Tour' Online International Communication Event Kicks Off in Shenzhen

On November 9, the international online communication event "Meet at the Miracle City: In-depth APEC Experience Tour", jointly organized by the Shenzhen Municipal Cyberspace Affairs Office and CRI Online, kicked off in Shenzhen. Ten young people from countries including Russia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and the Republic of Korea gathered in the city for an immersive exploration and in-depth experience of Shenzhen. Most of them come from APEC member economies and have been studying, working, or starting businesses in China for years, while actively engaging in new media communication. Bringing their international perspectives and diverse cultural backgrounds, they will explore Shenzhen and witness the city's contributions to Chinese modernization.

On the first day of the program, the young participants visited companies including HyperShell China and xTool in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, to experience firsthand the "Shenzhen speed" in the application of digital technologies.

At HyperShell China, the participants eagerly tried on wearable exoskeleton robots and asked staff about their various capabilities, experiencing firsthand how technology can push the boundaries of human capabilities.

At xTool, the young participants used a canvas application displayed on a large screen to create their own designs. With just a click to confirm, their designs appeared on cultural and creative coasters and leaf-based souvenirs, produced by laser engraving machines in less than 20 seconds.

Following the visits, a "Shenzhen Dialogue" among young people from various countries was held. The event features a specially designed daily thematic dialogue session. The theme of the first day's session was "Driving Innovation through Science and Technology: The Role of Asia-Pacific Youth in the Digital Economy". Young participants from across the Asia-Pacific region sat down with representatives of Shenzhen-based technology companies to exchange views on topics including the practical application of technological innovations and entrepreneurial opportunities for young people.
